Xerokampos

Xerokampos is a lovely beach on the south eastern side of Lassithi. It is located at a distance of 103 km from Agios Nikolas and 20 km from Ziros, a mountainous agricultural village of eastern Crete.
There are few taverns and rooms to rent around the beach, but the family atmosphere is not affected by tourism. The taverns offer delicious food and relaxing views to the sea.
Some afternoons, in summer, the beach is affected by strong winds but in late August, the winds calm down and visitors can enjoy the soft sand and the clean water of Xerokampos. In August 29th, the locals celebrate the feast of Saint John with a traditional panigiri.
